INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON OLFACTION AND TASTE

这项建议要求支助联合国系统的一部分费用， 国际嗅觉与味觉研讨会（ISOT）将于7月7日至 12 1997年在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥，由化学感受协会主办 科学（AChemS）。ISOT会议现在每4年举行一次， 由欧洲、日本和美国的化学传感研究组织轮流进行 ISOT会议作为一个定期审查和重新奉献 化学意义上的研究工作，并作为世界的论坛， 该领域的主要研究人员传播他们的成果， 研究，并交流信息和专业知识。这种交流， 对于任何多学科研究企业的成功至关重要， 不仅是专家之间的交流， 参加会议的科学家和研究生。因此， 为年轻的研究人员提供了一个独特的机会， 向国际观众展示他们的作品。AChemS提供了一些帮助 研究生，少数群体成员和临床居民， 参加这个论坛这次ISOT会议与1997年的 AChemS，为化学传感研究社区的所有成员提供 作为志愿者展示他们最新成果的机会。 其中一些演讲被选为创新和重要的演讲， 与15个主要专题讨论会相关的小型专题讨论会 这是ISOT会议的主要内容。 这一建议是专门为支持15个主要 专题讨论会，主要专家将讨论当前和新出现的问题 在化学感官研究中，主要是在分子，细胞和 系统级。由其他来源支助的其他专题讨论会将讨论 心理物理、临床、老龄化和工业方面。几次专题讨论会 将包括初级研究人员，其中一些还包括来自其他国家的专家。 分子遗传学和系统分析等领域， 和洞察力来激发化学意义上的创新研究。程序 有这么多杰出的化学传感器和其他科学家的研讨会， 每一个都为研究问题带来了前沿的见解， ISOT会议对化学感官研究具有重要意义。知识 科学人才的临界质量引发了连锁反应 激励这个领域，以意想不到的方式通过想法，信息， 接触和获得资源，许多个人的研究工作。它 是为了组装这一临界质量，需要在这方面提供支持， 提议 专题讨论会和志愿者报告摘要将在 作为“嗅觉和味觉”系列卷之一出版，并将 广泛传播。

This proposal requests support for a portion of the costs of the International Symposium on Olfaction and Taste (ISOT) to be held July 7 - 12 1997 in San Diego CA, hosted by the Association for Chemoreception Sciences (AChemS). ISOT meetings are now held every 4 years, hosted on a rotating basis by the chemosensory research organizations of Europe, Japan and the U.S. The ISOT meetings serve as a periodic review and rededication of research efforts in the chemical senses, and as a forum for the world's leading researchers in the field to disseminate the results of their research, and to exchange information and expertise. This interchange, vital to the success of any multidisciplinary research enterprise, is not just between experts but also with the junior investigators, postdoctoral scientists and graduate students that attend the meeting. As such it is a unique opportunity for younger researchers to make contacts and to present their work to an international audience. AChemS provides some assistance to graduate students, members of minority groups and clinical residents to attend. This ISOT meeting is combined with the 1997 annual meeting of AChemS, which affords all members of the chemosensory research community an opportunity to present their latest results as volunteer presentations. Some of these presentations, selected as innovative and important, will be assembled into mini-symposia associated with the fifteen main symposia which form the backbone of the ISOT meeting. This proposal is specifically for support of seven of the fifteen main symposia, in which leading experts will address current and emerging issues in chemical senses research, primarily at the molecular, cellular and systems level. Other symposia, supported from other sources, will address psychophysical, clinical, aging and industrial aspects. Several symposia will include junior researchers and several also include experts from other fields, such as molecular genetics and systems analysis, with techniques and insight to spark innovative research in the chemical senses. A program with so many symposia by outstanding chemosensory and other scientists, each bringing cutting edge insight into research questions, is what makes the ISOT meeting so valuable to chemical senses research. The intellectual chain reactions set off from this critical mass of scientific talent energize the field, contributing in unexpected ways by ideas, information, contacts and access to resources, to many individual research efforts. It is for the assembly of this critical mass that support is requested in this proposal. The symposia, and abstracts of the volunteer presentations, will be published as one of the series of "Olfaction and Taste" volumes, and will be widely disseminated.
